Internment

[4] The word internment is also occasionally used to describe a neutral country's practice of detaining belligerent armed forces and equipment on its territory during times of war, under the Hague Convention of 1907.

[7] The Universal Declaration of Human Rights restricts the use of internment, with Article 9 stating, "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.

[17] The total number of casualties in these camps is difficult to determine, but the deliberate policy of extermination through labor in many of the camps was designed to ensure that the inmates would die of starvation, untreated disease and summary executions within set periods of time.

[18] Moreover, Nazi Germany established six extermination camps, specifically designed to kill millions of people, primarily by gassing.

[24][25] The camps were established in the late 2010s under Chinese Communist Party general secretary Xi Jinping's administration.
